Book Reviews of From Baghdad, With Love: A Marine, the War, and a Dog Named Lava
Book Review: Much better than expected
Summary: 5 Stars
I expected this book to be just a nice story, but it is full of hard facts and details of the circumstances in Iraq. It was much more informative than I expected, and gives the reader a feeling for what our guys and gals are going through, and how they must turn their emotions off and on at the drop of a hat. The author also does a good job of not getting up on any soapboxes, for either side politically. Highly recommend it!Book Review: Semper Fi
Summary: 5 Stars

Summary: 5 Stars
This book helps the reader to get a sense of the life of a marine serving in Iraq. The bond that he develops with a rescued puppy helps him to forge through the day-to-day horrors of war and provides him with a focus to bring some good out of all the turmoil. The author writes with irony about many of the circumstances of dealing with legal red tape and government bureaucracy. This book is well worth reading.Book Review: From Baghdad, With Love
Summary: 5 Stars
I would recommend this book to anyone!!!
ANY an animal lover would adore it! Its heartwarming, touching, funny, sad and it makes you want to help out the people who finally got Lava back to the states. Everyone did a terrific job.
I read this on a flight out West, I didnt want to put the book down. I couldnt wait to see HOW they got Lave back to the states. And to read about the horrors and sadness in Iraq, made me cry.
From the moment Jay saw Lava, he was destined to have that dog! To read about this strong, brave soldier doing everything he can to save this dog, was truly amazing! ALL the work he did, to get Lava home and to be free away from war, made me cry!
I passed the book onto another animal lover, I know she will love it as much as I did.
Dont hesitate..buy it - NOW!!
